recorded in the history of Georgia
was that of John Wurm, who so

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than al! other diseases
put together, and for years It was sup¬
posed to be Incurable. Doctors pre¬
scribed local remedies, and by constant¬
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced It Incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con¬
stitutional conditions and therefore re¬
quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a consti¬
tutional remedy, is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System. One Hundred
Dollars reward is offered for any case
